Whenever we think about web development technologies we instantly think about JSP servlets or .Net framework or most easily PHP.

But amoung these existing technologies we have a relatively new kid on the block. Ruby on Rails is making waves.
Its easy to learn, intuitive to understand and because it uses a Completely Object Oriented language ‘Ruby’, its Kickass :)

The biggest problem that any aspiring Ruby on Rails developer faces is the installation process.

Ruby on Rails <RoR>, provides so many existing libraries in form of gems that handling gems and installing all that
is required to create a efficient working web site becomes hard at times.

To have a working demo website you are required to have the following installed in your dev system.

Ruby <any version will do>

Devkit <its not optional, its required to create a native environment for many crucial gems>

RVM <if you are picky about the gems installed in your system>

Rails <without this nothing works>

Now to install these seperate components, I have used time and again the following links and it has worked.
Versions have to be picked quite preceicly.

Ruby:
Version installed: 1.9.3http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
Choose the apropriate tar/zip and follow the instructions, its generally just unzipping, there are windows installer for the
ones who love the exe’s
